Van Buren Employment Discrimination Attorney

Discrimination Under Arkansas Law

Both Arkansas and the federal government have passed laws that prohibiting discrimination on the basis of particular protected characteristics. Government and private employers in Van Buren may be held liable under state and federal law depending on what kind of trait the discriminatory treatment was based upon.

How Does Employment Discrimination Occur?

Employment discrimination can occur if the employer treats an employee unfairly based on their membership in a class that is legally protected. Race, gender, religion, familial status and national origin are examples of some traits that employers may not use when evaluating you. In order for a claim of employment discrimination to be proven, a Van Buren, Arkansas plaintiff must show that his (or her) employer actively intended to treat him differently because of his protected status.

How can Employment Discrimination be Proven in Arkansas?

This can be shown if the employer has a history of mistreating people of the same status, or if individuals testify regarding the employer's specific statements that a reasonable person would conclude are biased. Additionally, employers may be held liable for firing someone or retaliating against them because they brought a discrimination lawsuit.

The procedure for pursuing an employment discrimination claim is complicated, since it involves filing a claim with certain agencies. A Van Buren, Arkansas lawyer can help you file in a timely manner, and while your case is pending, they can assist you in pursuing any available remedies.

02/24/2013He is the kind of lawyer who would sit down and explain things on how things works in legal matter but he is still fighting for me hard and he is very patient and very understanding with me being deaf and we have not got the results yet but he is trying very hard during week and weekends on getting results real fast and he don't take no bull from other companies and I would advice people to use him as your lawyer

04/21/2009Mr. C. has been responsive, he's explained everything clearly and has asked questions that I had not thought of. He's not like the typical laywer profile - he's courteous and very patient with me. I would easily recommend him. I'm going to assume his service is a good value for my money although we're not at that stage yet.

09/08/2007Mr.C. is a excellent lawyer he always kept us well informed on the case, I am very satisfied with the work that he has done and I am sure that anyother person who were to hire him will be too. Also he took the time and patience to talk to me personally after all the work he had. I would strongly recommend him. Very very good.

08/27/2007I had a great experience with this lawyer. I highly recommend him to anyone. Emails and phone calls were returned promptly. My questions were answered with a clear understanding. If he did not know the answer he would research it and get back to me quickly. I believe he worked very hard to gather the information we needed for the case. If i ever need another lawyer in the future, i will definitely hire him again.

08/21/2007Joel kept in constant contact with me. I really liked that about him. Most lawyers dont even talk to you, they have their secretary take a message. Joel did not once do that. Joel believed in me and my case. I would recommend him to anyone and use him again if I ever have to do this again. He cares about the situation and had my best interest at heart.

04/12/2007Joel had excellent response time, he spent time with me on the telephone discussing possibility's of my case. I highly recommend Joel, he was very easy to talk to and spoke to me in layman's terms so I could understand what was going on, he sent me numerous e-mails in regards to my case. He was willing to go the extra mile for me and that was something very special.

02/12/2007I was very pleased with the Mr. C.'s response. As much as I deeply appreciated the time he took in looking over the information, I decided it was best not to pursue the issue. He was very kind and I will most defintely keep his name should I ever need assistance in the future.

11/04/2006Due to the free consult, the attorney and I were able to determine that at this time it would be futile to hire an attorney. This type of attorney is without a doubt more interested in providing their clients with valuable information; other then looking to gain value from charging fees when it has been determined the client does not need legal representation at this time.

01/12/2006Mr. Jason B. was far-flung what I expected a fine attorney to be. As I searched for the best possible help for my son, I was in contact with many lawyers who were negative and were only concerned about the cash.
Mr. B. was different and he listened very cautiously and did not prosecute my son when he saw him. He counseled my son to change his life and worked really hard to get the best end result possible for him. If I ever need another attorney or know anyone who does, I will definitely refer Mr. B..
Thanks,
Maria Serrano

01/19/2012Jason handled the corrupt insurance company, and gave me sound advice, in what to do. He stayed on top of the case and would not allow the corrupt insurance company to scam me out of my money. Thank you Jason.

09/11/2009Jason B. referred my case to a local lawyer, Jacob Diesselhorst. I have hired him to work my families case. Jacob has been very helpful and understands the problems of using two legal systems (Oklahoma and Ohio). He is currently working to settle our case. I would highly recommend Jacob and his firm, Nix & McIntyre, LLP. I would also like to say Thank You to Jason B. for referring Jacob to me. LEGAL MATCH COM WORKS!!!!!
